Maggie Thatcher

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Quite correct foxy, Just as the "Thatcher the milk snatcher" drivel ignores that it was in fact the labour government that enacted this.

The previous Labour administration repealed the 1946 Free Milk Act in 1968 which provided 1/3rd pint of milk for all children under 18 and removed the allowance for secondary school children, but younger ages still received it. The subsequent Tory administration removed the allowance for 8s to 11s because they needed to help pay for their promised income tax cuts. It was the reason for the cut that resonated in the minds of the public and hence the nickname was valid.

Are you an aggrieved, former milk-monitor? ;-)

I'll just summerise the next 30 pages for anyone who can't be arsed reading it all.

She's the biggest c**t who has ever stepped foot on planet Earth and I partied like never before when the evil woman died. Hopefully in great pain.

No she wasn't. She was the greatest leader this country had since Churchill and made me proud to be British. And she sorted those pesky unions out.

You've dragged this out a bit/

Personally detested the woman with a passion saw too many decent blokes redundant and too many good companies closed through her stupid ideals of smashing organised labour but to blame her personally for the deaths at Hillsborough not sure about that, thousands of pissed up scousers might have had something to do with it as well, sadly the innocents who were in early copped out.

This has been proved not to be the case.

They also demonstrate how the SYP Police Federation, supported informally by the SYP Chief Constable, sought to develop and publicise a version of events that focused on several police officers' allegations of drunkenness, ticketlessness and violence among a large number of Liverpool fans. This extended beyond the media to Parliament.

Yet, from the mass of documents, television and CCTV coverage disclosed to the Panel there is no evidence to support these allegations other than a few isolated examples of aggressive or verbally abusive behaviour clearly reflecting frustration and desperation.

As for Thatcher, a truly horrible person. In the end, her own party had enough of her and stabbed her in the back.

I was never trusted to be a milk monitor after an, erm, "episode" in the tuck shop!

Something to do with a finger of fudge?

It is incredible that a woman from such an ordinary, and in relative to the position she attained, lowly background manages to provoke such strong feelings in others some considerable time after her death. Whatever one says or thinks of her, she was a truly remarkable person. In using that description, I certainly don't mean that in an entirely positive sense.

Is this the same Churchill in charge of the Gallipoli campaign during World War 1, because, yes, I can see the similarities now.

I too was never seen as worthy to hold such a position. Fight the power!

Remember when people used to make mistakes, learn, grow and then come back to triumphant success and when it was celebrated as a process rather than having bricks thrown at them for once making a mistake instead of being absolutely perfect for their entire life?

What a wondrous time it was to live in.
